In the presence of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and energy minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Gadkari disclosed that Mantralaya bureaucrats are the main hurdles in the process of development due to their “negative mindset”.Gadkari said proposals pertaining to crucial projects are gathering dust in Mantralaya and many bureaucrats write negative remarks against projects.
